Header links

[manvbf]

Hello: I am restructuring one of my sites and just had a quick question if you'd all be so kind....

The main nav bar of my page has only 5 links (home, about, services, portfolio, request a quote) verbatim. Ideally i would like these 5 links to have a unique font, thus requiring me to render them as images. my question is, because these 5 links are intentionally NOT keyword rich, am I really doing myself an injustice by using images as the links? i am thinking i would be better off using the images as links with keyword rich alt tags rather than using plain text for these non descriptive links?

did i confuse anyone? lol


cheers
